Where is the red, white, and blue like a First Lady should wear at the DNC? I saw her in an eggplant colored dress, the Asian inspired pink and lavender dress seen here, and a black and gray dress. Guess she must have been showing her true colors.

While on a $4 million vacation with the First Family, the First Lady stuck to her fashion senses in an array of designer duds. Does she look so chic or should she have pinched her pennies before splurging on her high-fashion frocks?

Michelle Obama is often praised for her ability to mix high-end designers with attainable fashion from the likes of J. Crew and Converse, but while on vacation in Hawaii with her family her look is all high-fashion! While she looks so appropriate and chic for the First Lady, many are criticizing her pricey dresses — what do you think? From her $1,000 Comme des Garcons skirt she wore on Christmas (pictured here) and more, check out Michelle’s vacation wardrobe and weigh in below. (AP)

Michelle Obama pulled a frock swap on Christmas day, switching from her skirt to this Sophie Theallet frock from 2009. The First Lady was spotted in the pricey dress, which would have cost $2,000, while entering the Marine Corps Base Hawaii Chapel.
